Episode description
It looks like Calgary will not be in the mix to host the 2026 Olympic winter games after all.
After months of back and forth, the No side won out in a city-wide plebiscite Tuesday, leaving city council little choice but to scuttle a multi-billion dollar bid.
We look at how the Yes side failed to make its case, and what the no vote says about possible future bids.
Dave is joined by Calgary Herald reporter Ryan Rumbolt.
